What We Do
Sarasota Bay Watch is an action-based, grassroots, non-profit organization dedicated to restoring coastal ecosystems through citizen participation. Sarasota Bay Watch relies heavily on community involvement while at the same time providing volunteer and educational opportunities for all ages. The primary events are all related to habitat restoration or re-stocking our bay, shorelines and uninhabited islands with native species.
Shellfish
Restoration
Clam Restoration and Scallop Search. This is to answer the question “How’s the Bay Today?”
Marine Debris
Cleanup
Each year derelict fishing gear entangles and kills Sarasota Bay’s iconic seabirds.
Island & Shoreline
Restoration
We maintain islands which are habitats for ecotourism, picnicking and bird watching.
